I am trying my hand at "homeschooling". No, I don't plan to pull my kids out of school (yet) and home school full time - I frankly don't think I have the patience for it! I know several wonderful women who homeschool their broods and I really don't know how they do it! It does seem like a very popular option here in Korea despite the good things I have heard about the Department of Defense school system here.
The one thing I am committed to is continuing to provide my children with knowledge of the Bible and the core values that God wishes for us to have and follow. We have pretty much gone from all to nothing in the spiritual aspect of things, and I really don't want to loose the firm foundation we began with our children last year. So, for this summer I have started doing a "bridge" book with Grace and started some Scripture memorization with both of them. Tristan only "gets" some of it, but he's involved in all that we do. The book we have also provides a summer Bible Camp with weekly lessons that we are working on. I am planning on working with Tristan in a preschool curriculum in the fall because I think he could really benefit from it and I don't know if I will be able to get him into a preschool when school starts - and if I do, I don't know how much "learning" will take place.
They do seem to enjoy it so far, and even ask about doing it most days. I'm hoping this will keep all of us in a routine and things will just fall into place after school starts.
